But the history of visiting Rome had a pathological side-not only crisis and disorientation but repulsion at its filth and stink. Rome's air was considered to contain a chronic source of disease. This book argues that "bad air" ( mal'aria ) is a neglected aspect of thinking about the city's history and as a destination for artists, visitors, and Romans both ancient and modern.
